य इन्द्राग्नी चित्रतमो रथो वामभि विश्वानि भुवनानि चष्टे l
तेना यातं सरथं तस्थिवांसाथा सोमस्य पिबतं सुतस्य ll

ya indrāgnī citratamo ratho vāmabhi viśvāni bhuvanāni caṣṭe l
tenā yātaṃ sarathaṃ tasthivāṃsāthā somasya pibataṃ sutasya ll

ON that most wondrous car of yours, O Indra and Agni, which looks round on all things living,
Take your stand and come to us together, and drink libations of the flowing (extracted) Soma.

सुत (Suta, as per context): Extracted, pressed out, impelled, brought forth. Sure, it also means 'son'.

so indragni is the name of the union or name of new supreme god according to Rig veda as both indra and agni are given supreme status by number of slokas.

can you tell me sir,
how they used to worship this union ?
is indragni a separate god from both indra and agni ?

It was not a union like Ardhanaeeshwara or Harihara, half Indra and half Agni. They were just addressing two Gods together. They did this for other Gods also, Mitra-Varuna, Dyvah-Prithivi were other popular combinations.

Don't bother to find out as to whom the Aryans considered as the Supreme God. They had 33. And if the hymn was dedicated to a particular God then he was the Supreme as far as that hymn went. In another hymn, they would be praising some other God as Supreme. :)

yeah but if we go by sheer numbers, than Indra dominates the concept of supreme god. while second position is occupied by Agni and varuna if i am not wrong.
